Photo Happy Hour

Everyone is talking about it. We talked about it before, but a lot has changed since the last time we broached the subject of AI. In this episode we chat about which AI tools we are using, and how different AI tools have helped our businesses.

Photographers say the craziest things to get their clients to smile, look serious, pose a certain way, or simply to quit being a pain in the...wallet. In this episode we share some of the things we say, have said (and regretted), and have heard others say. It's a good time.
Along the way Dan shows off the first Mojito of the season, Michael shares his story about the demon grandma, and Carl demonstrates how he yells at seniors. There are lots of outdated TV and movie references as well, so play along and see if they sound vaguely familiar.

What does TED know about photography? Nothing, I say! Nothing! Fortunately we present you with our own TECHTALK where we share a lot of little technical tips about different types of portrait photography. What's the aperture we most use for headshots. What about for seniors? Where should you place the focus point for groups and families (it's not on the front person)? How does high speed sync work, and when should you use it? How should your mirrorless camera be setup for using flash. And lots of other great tips!
